    This! My 20lb has lasted me 5 wheeling trips filling up 12 trucks. The last wheeling trip I filled up my 35s and the regulator was pretty frozen by the 4th tire. Need to get it refilled this month and weigh it.

    Well its a land Cruiser with a diesel so I've got that going for me.
    Already ordered the PolyPerfomance regulator. Seems like a lot of folk really like it. I already have a 25' hose and I am going to order a new ARB chuck. I need to swap out tje the bottle since it needs hydro'd. Once I get the new one I am going to sort out a mount. Want to go vertical mount but may end up with that angled one like Paul has...we shall see. Off to get the tank all sorted out tomorrow.

    Also new highlift mounts ready to go! I'm going to grab a 60" one soon to replace the 48" since my truck is getting taller and taller all the time.

    Screw it...went and bought a cheap welder...was bound to happen at some point! Needed to fix these bent alignment tabs and was wanting to be more self sufficient when it came to getting small stuff welded up. Pretty easy to do...pretty hard to make it look good. Ohhh well practice is gonna make perfect.

    Hahahaha. The red jack is Luke's new 48" hilift. The one under the truck is a craftsman suv jack. Works well. 3ton IIRC.

    Just wrapped up on the alignment tabs. Not pretty but it may save me from buying TC tabs and having to tear the whole front end off and to get the stock stuff off...fingers crossed alignment in the morning since I pulled a little preload out to help me get the tires a little further forward.

    Thought I would share some spacer tech...

    Here is a .75" BORA spacer next to a set of 1.25" spidertrax spacer. Notice how long those new studs are! Schwing!

    Mounted up so you can see that the stock studs don't quite clear...
    20140111_102356_b2c8c76ab64febcb03400b8392be8ca3e15d89c5.jpg

    And the back of the FJ Trail Teams Rims and the nice little pockets that keep me from having to trim the studs.
    20140111_102420_92bdaf9f8f66052725b8082dc9f84a46e7652daa.jpg

    End result is that I just kiss the UCAs at full lock and have made a nice gap while turned up into the firewall and cab mount. Much happier with .75 spacers.
